How long does it take to prepare a valuation report?

Timing is counted not from your first message, but from the point when:

• the purpose of the valuation and the recipient of the report are known (for example, a court or a public agency);
• we have the key property details — cadastral code, area and photos;
• the scope of work, the fee and the timing are agreed;
• 50% of the agreed fee has been paid in advance — work starts only after that.

What each type of property requires is explained in detail in the article: What information and documents are needed for a property valuation? →

• Property type and number — a single apartment usually takes less time than a house with its land and outbuildings, or several properties at once.
• How complete the information is — if details or photos arrive bit by bit, the timing moves accordingly.
• Site visit — if one is needed, the timing includes arranging the visit.
• Purpose and the recipient's requirements — some recipients have their own requirements for the form and content of the report.
• Market data — for an unusual or specialised property, finding comparable data takes longer.

For a business, a company stake or equipment, timing depends on the scope of the assignment: which period of financial data is needed, how many assets are being valued and how we will get information about them. Here too, we agree the timing in advance.

• in your first message, state the purpose of the valuation and who will receive the report;
• send the cadastral code, area and photos together;
• if the recipient has its own requirements for the report, share them in advance;
• if a site visit is needed, suggest a time that suits you;
• make the 50% advance payment as soon as the terms are agreed.

The result is a signed valuation report — as a PDF, or printed if needed.
